j7 prime tft display price free sample

Samsung Galaxy J7 Prime does come with some fairly impressive specifications for a sub-20K phone, but we’ve often seen flagship specs falter when it comes to delivering a good user experience. We used the Samsung Galaxy J7 Prime as our daily driver for over a period of 10 days, and here is our experience with the phone

First off, here’s what Rs 18,790 gets you: Samsung’s own Exynos 7870 Octa-Core CPU (1.6 GHz Cortex-A53) paired with 3GB of RAM. For those who may not be familiar with the SoC, the Exynos 7870 comes in an arrangement of eight A53 cores that can be clocked up to 1.7 GHz and can run displays up to 1920×1200 resolution along with support for Image Signal Processing for up to two 16MP cameras.

On the Samsung Galaxy J7 Prime, the SoC is performing pretty much at its maximum with the clock speed, a 1920×1080 IPS display, a 13MP camera on the back and a 8MP camera on the front.

Unlike the non-flagship products that Samsung has released in the past, the Samsung Galaxy J7 Prime is actually really well built. It doesn’t exude the elegance of the Edge 7, but the build is really well put together. The phone has a metal build with the front being protected by Gorilla Glass. The edges of the glass blend smoothly into the body, leaving no obtrusive edges.

The back is smooth with the camera unit and flash sitting flush with the body. Interestingly though, Samsung has placed a mono speaker on the ride side of the phone instead of the underside. The power button sits well-spaced from the speaker and the left side of the phones are adorned with the volume rocker. A fairly standard configuration of button placement. The build is what you would expect from a phone in this price range, so that should offer you some peace of mind.

Displays are kind of Samsung’s thing. The Galaxy Note 7 came with the best AMOLED display yet, but unfortunately the phone couldn’t stop exploding and had to be pulled off the shelves. Interestingly, Samsung has chosen to go with a 5.5inch 1920×1080 TFT-LCD screen for the Galaxy J7 Prime, a kind of a deviation from its forte.

The display has a pixel density of roughly 400 pixels per inch, adequately dense to render rather pleasing amount of sharpness. Using the phone under the mid-day sun, the display is adequately bright, with good colours and contrast. Unfortunately, the top glass panel on the phone is rather reflective in nature and in bright light, hinders good legibility.

Similar problems occurred during our 45-minute gameplay of Modern Combat 5 as well, leading us to believe that while the Samsung Galaxy J7 will let you run the most demanding games, it won’t be able to deliver a 100 per cent smooth experience. Photo editing on the Samsung Galaxy J7 wasn’t a problem though, as Snapseed, Lightroom and even VSCO ran fairly smooth. We did notice Lightroom taking longer than usual to import files from camera roll and even longer to render final JPG output, but it really wasn’t a deal breaker.

The most frustrating experience with the Galaxy J7 Prime were random crashes. Even without having run S-Health, every 15-20 minutes or so, we kept getting an error that “S Health has quit unexpectedly.” Asphalt 8 and Lightroom suffered the same issue every now and then and a re-installation of the apps didn’t solve the problem. The issue was intermittent though, and it’s possible that a full reset of the phone could eliminate the issue.

Samsung’s Galaxy J7 Prime offers 13 MP on its primary camera and 8 MP count on the front. Neither camera offers RAW output so that’s a little disappointing. The primary camera sports a number of shooting modes such as Panorama, HDR, Night Mode, Beauty, Sport and Sound and Shot.

With all of the battery saving features turned off, the 3000mAh battery of the Samsung Galaxy J7 Prime lasted us for an entire work day without any issues. This includes HEAVY usage of WhatsApp, Facebook and a significant number of phone calls. Typically, an iPhone 6s would have died halfway through the day, but the Galaxy J7 Prime managed to get through the whole day without any issues.

Samsung Galaxy J7 Prime retails for Rs 18,790. It comes with medium-tier specs that have been a standard for this price range. It performs as expected, however the occasional and random crashing of apps was definitely somewhat of a concern. The camera performs really well in good light and manages to keep the images noise free in relative darkness too, albeit thanks to aggressive noise reduction.

By itself, the phone is a good option for anyone looking to shell out money for an impressive battery life. However Lenovo has introduced the Z2 Plus for just Rs. 17,990 packed with a more powerful Snapdragon 820 processor, 3GB (or 4GB depending on the variant) of RAM and matching camera and display specs. The Lenovo Z2 Plus also sports a bigger battery, but it may not come with the optimisation the Samsung Galaxy J7 Prime sports, making a choice between the two harder.

This smartphone has a slightly curved screen, tapered to meet the side edges. Samsung used its proprietary display technology called (Plane Line Switching) PLS TFT, giving the J7 better viewing angles and image quality.

It has a resolution of 1080 x 1920 pixels and PPI of 401. This makes the J7 Prime display a joy to look at. Colors are quite vivid and color representation is fairly accurate.

The J7 Prime uses Android’s Marshmallow and has an 8-core chip that is clocked at 1.6 GHz. It has 3GB worth of memory and uses Samsung’s Exynos 7870 chipset.

The J7 Prime has a 13MP camera with a single-tone LED flash. The camera lens has an aperture of 1.9, compared to other smartphones, which have 2.0. This simply means the lens eye is more “open” thus allowing for more light. This setup is very ideal for low-light situations, which the J7 Prime is pretty good at. It has a great camera that works well, especially on Auto mode. Other modes include Panorama, continuous shot, HDR, “beautify”, Night and Sports mode.

The camera also features a Pro mode (manual mode) though it is quite limited in features. It supports adjustments for ISO, EV, and White balance but there is no way you can control the shutter speed, so for those who are into long exposure photography, this is not possible with the J7 Prime.

The J7 Prime has 3300 mAh battery and it is quite impressive for this Samsung smartphone to be able to implement this on a slim body. The battery life is excellent, allowing you to do your usual activities without having to worry about bringing a power bank.

Most phones with big 5.5 inch screen and FHD resolution should always be paired with big battery capacity. Samsung knows that and that"s what they did with the Galaxy J7 Prime. Together with its power efficient Exynos 7870 chip, Samsung loaded this device with 3,300 mAh of battery capacity.

In terms of features, the Galaxy J7 Prime has Samsung"s usual panorama (image stiching), HDR (for rich tones), continous shots (burst), night (good evening stills), beautify face (can remove skin blemishes), sports (for action shots), and sound & shot modes. It even has a limited Pro Mode where you can adjust exposure levels, up to ISO 800, and white balance. At least it has those servicable modes even if it may not have high ISO levels, manual focus, and shutter speed adjusments.

Checking the camera output quality of its 13 MP f/1.9 sensor, we were delighted with the results. It ranks among the best of this price and can compete or even best both P9 Lite and F1s in some lighting conditions. It"s has GREAT color accuracy (well balanced as a matter of fact), crispy details, and has good overall dynamic range. It can even do macro shots with good background blur and shallow depth of field for an affordable phone. HDR is also fine and fast (2 secs delay only), but there are times that it won"t deliver much details in against the light shots.

Clocking a score of over 4K via Antutu benchmark and over 3K at Geekbench , the Samsung Galaxy J7 Prime proved to a worthy device in the midrange game. Real life performance also speaks the same, due to its speedy chip and Marshmallow OS with light skin, it doesn"t throttle or heat up on casual usage which can open multiple apps with good speed. Thanks to its 3 GB of RAM, multitasking is also great. For storage options, there"s 32 GB of internal storage with dedicated expandable storage up to 128 GB.

Samsung did a great job with the Galaxy J7 Prime! It"s equipped with the right expected specs for the price, has a well refined performance, long battery life is present, and it can shoot good photos. On top of those traits, it is the most stylish phone with this type of decent performance in its class.

The recently launched Galaxy J7 Prime which currently leads the pack does things a bit differently. Adopting current hot trends like 2.5D glass, fingerprint reader, and metal unibody design, this is perhaps the best looking and most aggressive J series handset coming from the South Korean Android giant thus far.

As we have already hinted, the design and build work in its favor. The chunky plastic body with hideous chrome finished side frame that we have come to associated with J-series phones are gone for good. The Galaxy J7 Prime definitely looks premium (more so in Black).

A lot of potential buyers are already cynical about the J7 Prime display, simply because it’s a TFT panel. The practical experience, however, confirms otherwise.

The 5.5-inch Full HD panel on Samsung J7 Prime actually looks pretty decent. The TFT factor only weighs in when you look at it from extreme, rather impractical angles – something you don’t really need to care about.

It must also be noted that the Galaxy On Nxt which is virtually the same as the Galaxy J7 Prime, save for more internal storage, has warmer color tones that look better in our opinion.

The Samsung Galaxy A7 Prime is powered by 1.6GHz Exynos 7870 octa-core processor paired with 3GB RAM and 16GB storage. After loading all the apps I frequently and rarely use and one gaming app, I had around 6GB space free. That’s where the MicroSD card support (256GB) should come in handy.

In day-to-day usage, the Galaxy A7 Prime doesn’t falter that easy. At the same time. performance isn’t impeccable either. We did encounter some random freezes once or twice in our two weeks with the device, but it was mostly smooth sailing.

The high-end games we tested were playable, though the gaming experience wasn’t as smooth as on the Galaxy J7 2016. Casual games like subway surfer and Leo’s fortune ran fine. It must be noted that App data cannot be moved to SD card. You will have to keep all your games on the internal storage.

The RAM management is a bit aggressive. If you admire the convenience of more than 2 or 3 apps running in the background, the Galaxy J7 2016 might disappoint you. I could conveniently switch to and fro between Kindle, browser and notes app, but the phone kept terminating apps at times when I had to toggle between more demanding ones like Uber, Google Maps, and MX Player.

The camera on the Galaxy J7 Prime won’t be giving it any clear cut edge, but it won’t drag it down either. There is definitely room for improvement here. A more robust Pro mode would be a good start.

The call quality is something which Samsung takes pretty seriously on all its phones. The J7 Prime, however, is an exception. We would rate call quality on Samsung Galaxy J7 Prime as average.

The Samsung Galaxy J7 Prime is a good proposition for basic and moderate users, and perhaps for anyone who values tier-1 branding and associated advantages like efficient after sales support, and prefers to buy from offline stores. The remarkable battery backup, solid day-to-day performance, the elegant design and well-calibrated display all play their part in delivering a pleasant usage experience. In spite of its flaws, we have enjoyed our time with the handset.

The Galaxy Watch5 comes in different sizes, colors, and prices. For the 40mm, it’s available in Graphite, Pink Gold, and Silver. The LTE variant costs PhP 19,990 while the Bluetooth variant retails for PhP 16,990.

The asking price for the base Galaxy Watch5 is higher than the Galaxy Watch4 during its launch, but the incremental upgrades match the value of the current price tag.
